Composing at the edge of what music can be
Filipino-American composer based in Orlando, Florida — writing music that refuses to stay inside the lines.
Kathleen is a five-time best music nominee for the Organization of Independent Filmmakers (Orlando) film challenges. In 2025, her score for the short film "Eden Trials" won Best Music in the sci-fi category during the Blaze Challenge, and in 2021, her score for "ISOLATED" won Best Music in the horror category during the Chaos Challenge.
A song she wrote in collaboration with producer Colormind titled "Should've Said Goodbye" garnered 5 stars and was a semi-finalist in the 2020 UK Songwriting Contest.
Today, Kathleen continues to hone her unique voice by writing music for and collaborating with local filmmakers and producers in the Orlando area. She is versatile across many genres — epic action, adventure, drama, and comedy — but specializes in exploring modern approaches to scoring thriller, tension, horror, and psychological horror films.
